RE: A cool trick to not spook deer
Like johnch, I use a turkey mouth call but I also cut a 3ft long swich and use it to scratch the leaves just like a turkey as I move through the woods. It works! The closest I've ever gotten using this method was about 20Yds. A big doe was feeding on acorns on the other side of this big briar patch. About the time I cleared the briar patch, we saw each other. Don't know who was startled the most the doe or me...LOL
